While I post some public entries (primarily so that they'll get copied to my Facebook as notes), the really juicy ones are friends-only. If you want to read them, then you'll have to reveal yourself and comment to be added as a friend.
For those of you who already are: nothing to see here, move along. |

I love Muse for no apparent reason.
Paranoia is in bloom, The PR transmissions will resume, They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down, And hope that we will never see the truth around (So come on) Another promise, another scene, Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed, And all the green belts wrapped around our minds, And endless red tape to keep the truth confined (So come on) ( Read more... ) |

This is great stuff:
I am a conservative. This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy.
I then took a shower in the clean water provided by a municipal water utility.
After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC-regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
I watched this while eating my breakfast of U.S. Department of Agriculture-inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
At the appropriate time, as regulated by the U.S. Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the U.S. Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank.
On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the U.S. Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.
After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.
And then I log on to the internet -- which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration -- and post on Freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right. |

So the other week I got a flat. Understandable because my tires were bald. That's #1.
Turns out the uneven wear was being caused by a loose ball joint, and the place where I took the car to get new tires wouldn't put them on unless I got that fixed first. I couldn't afford both so I gave them $165 to put the ball joint in. Waited several hours including at least half an hour of watching the mechanic responsible for my car flirt with the fat receptionist chick. I am jack's lack of amusement, esp when they handed the keys back and said the passenger side one needed to be replaced too, for another $150. Couldn't afford it so I put it off.
Today was payday. I made an appt to get new tires with a different tire shop, and also took the car to a DIFFERENT mechanic (I wasn't about to give the first guys any more of my money) to get the second ball joint replaced. I knew I'd also need an alignment after the tires got put on, but I needed the replacement ball joint first.
It took FOUR HOURS for them to look at my car, when they said they could get the repair done in two. And here's the fun part: my front transfer case is shot. That's a $700-800 repair, so in total we're looking at repairs costing twice what the car was appraised at back in February when I was thinking about selling it to Carmax and getting a new car. FUCK ME.
So now I have no reliable car, and if I take this thing back to Carmax I'm going to get fucked in the ass on tradein value. I got turned down for an auto loan by my credit union, so now I've got no clue WTF to do.

limers said I'd die if I didn't answer these. Also:
1. Leave me a comment and I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
2. Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
3. Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.
Her questions for me: 1. The end of the world is approaching. Would you rather know and live with the consequences of knowing or would you rather live your life out normally in blissful ignorance? I would rather know.
2. Too bad, you know it's coming, sorry. A fairy told you. Do you tell everyone you can, inciting mass chaos and panic but giving people the time to be with their loved ones and make amends or do you keep it to yourself, living with the burden alone? I'd incite panic. Mainly because I'd want to tell my friends and family and I don't trust them to keep the secret.
3. You, and you alone survive the apocalypse by some miracle. The world is pretty much the same, but with no people. Whose house would you snoop through first? I'd probably go to the White House and poke around.
4. Zombie time. Someone very close to you (lover, family member, whatever) is turned into a zombie. Do you kill them and what is your method of killing them? Blunt object to the skull, as soon as I was sure they were a zombie. I'd probably say goodbye as I say it though.
5. A bit macabre, sorry. Here's another one. YOU turn into a zombie but you are still 100% cognitive, however you have NO control of your body. Basically, your mind is trapped in your body. What are the consequences that you can think of being in that situation? Simple. I'd go insane. Then hopefully someone would put me down. |

FOUND THE CAT.
He was hiding in a storm drain behind our apartment. starcast1c has a lovely cat voice, he sang back as soon as he heard her and led us right to him. He ran up and jumped in my lap when I got close enough that he could see who I was. I am so happy, I don't have words. |

I can't sleep. Someone just tried to break into my apartment, and my cat ran away through the open window. I also got a flat tire this afternoon on the way to the grocery store. Pretty much the worst day ever. |
